TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Gov. Rick Scott held meetings addressing mental health, school safety and access to guns. 

Nikolas Cruz had a lengthy history of mental-health issues, and the FBI received at least two reports showing he posed a threat to others.

He was charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder.

Experts say just a fraction of mentally ill people, between one and four percent, become violent.

Several experts believe early intervention and identification is critical.
